Murphy's Law

Me and Murphy were quite close yesterday. I woke up early so I wouldn't look like I just got out of bed for a Sears repair guy coming to fix my dryer... Well, they called me a 9am to tell me that he called in sick, and they wouldn't be able to come until next Saturday. So, then I decided to go hike in the National Park. When I arrived at the trailhead, it was 71 degrees and perfectly clear, so I didn't pack the rain jacket, down vest, or fleece that I had in my car. I made it all the way to Bridal Veil falls and was sitting there eating my trail mix, when there was suddenly a CRASH of lightening and thunder, pouring rain, and hail. In the back of my mind, I remembered my friend Glenn had once performed CPR on someone who got struck by lightening on this same trail. So, I panicked and started to run back to the trailhead. After running about 1.5 miles, I realized that I was running with the storm, and it was clearing up behind me. So, I stood under a big pine tree and waited it out. By the time I got back to my car, I was soaked to the bone and freezing! Luckily I had packed a change of clothes. I headed up to the ranch, where they had an open bottle of wine and dinner waiting for me! Today, I'm spending the day sitting on my couch!
